AirPennNet-Device is a wireless network designed for devices that cannot connect to AirPennNet. It is meant for devices such as Kindles, Nooks, Xbox 360s and more. This network is only available in all of the College Houses and in Sansom Place East and West.

If you live on campus and you have devices that cannot be configured to use AirPennNet, contact your IT support staff to register your device.

College House residents should contact their ITA who will help register and connect the device.

Sansom East and West residents should bring devices to the Computing Resource Center located in 202 Sansom West.

IT staff members must register the device on your behalf and you will not be able to connect to the Internet until your device is registered.
